Yeah but a lot of those classic songs on the Lost Tapes and the other unreleased classics got replace with some trash and mediocrity.
Nas’ career didn’t “suffer” from not using beats from the O.G. producers but they sure as hell helped
People acting like working with Large Pro, Primo and them has to be illmatic 2 when it doesn’t. It coulda been something new

Someone, somewhere would still be mad.
Nikkas still want Nas to be a broke stuck in the 90s nikka

Didn’t Pete say most of the beats from the 1st petestrumentals album were beats he had for Nas. It’s funny how Pete the only one Nas ain’t go back to in later albums from the illmatic crew

After sitting with the album more I realized that it's the slow time signature on almost all the songs. I initially thought Not for Radio in some small parts he was off beat, then I realized something else. We usually don't get a lot of slow songs from Nas and I noticed damn near every track is pretty slow and laid back, perfect cruising music.where is Nas off beat on this album again?
If he is, it's barely noticable
The general speed/bpm of these tracks resemble this song to me,
Can't expect an aglie flow over these types beats, and if you do get it, not for long.
Adam and Eve is the only song that's pretty steady which is why I think everyone gravitated towards it, the bpm is closer to is natrual flow / cadence speed and he's in his bag.
Honestly not mad at any of this, I like the 7 track album experiement, got Nas to try something a lil different but still recognizable to the core.
Even so, I still can't help but feel this is the appetizer, 6 years has passed and too much recording has taken place to be scrapped for this project. He's hopefully out of the Def Jam contract by now and free to do what he wants with that Nas Album Done material as well as Lost Tapes 2.

I Am did have those tracks. nikkas got thirsty and bootlegged the album so bad he had to switch it up. It's how Nas Is Like got on the album. Honestly its only bout 3 beats that I didnt fukk wit on the retail version. And I'm one of the people who had the bootleg with all the fire on it. All I can say is maybe his official album that's coming soon might be more ur speed. Its supposed to have Pete Rock and Large Pro on it but who knows now since they been actin like bytches.

This is not the album he's been working on. He's releasing it under his own imprint.

Per usual, a lot of these dudes start off their post with “I’m a huge Nas fan..”, right before they begin to scathingly shyt on him & everything he does. I see right through these clowns.

Nas couldve gotten the Illmatic production this year. And nikkas wouldve still complained. I would bet money on it. Lol. I mean RA The Rugged Man is an example of how retarded these people are. People been shytting on Nas for damn near a decade and a half for working with Salaam Remi. Saying he need producers like Kanye etc etc. nikka get production from Kanye. Now he saying Salaam Remi knows how to produce Nas. He needs him back.

We obviously getting something as well, this isn't the only project he's gonna drop and all these fakkits should shut the hell up. This is an amazing album .
